I watch a lot of British history shows. When they talk about the Industrial Age they always talk about the engineering that was done, in particularly, during the Victorian era, when the juggernaut of the British empire was built. And now, when that history is talked about, they talk about the negatives too, the work & living conditions of the poor, slavery. & what Empire took away from the countries that made it up. What I found interesting though is that in such countries as Australia & Singapore, people, who had been historically mistreated, now considered the positives that the empire had given them. Why didn't all of these people & businesses not lose the basic general precepts of answers & puzzles? My conclusion after reading this is the polarization of thought & feelings that has been wrought because of the internet. But then I think, since the industrial revolution haven't we basically just taken the easy way out with a problem, such as cleaning the house because we have the technology? So, with the internet which is a very wonderful & useful tool, we have allowed ourselves to think, consider & examine less, about so much more than that methodology should be applied to. Knee jerk reactions, when things are easy take that way out. I know, I've presented another case for the problem & have no solutions. I will look for your book, Margaret. Thank you
Is the Gift of Chaos that there are no binaries? Is it the invitation to one? The answer to uncertainty is not certainty. Instead, might it be the absence of both or the introduction of the eternal nature of the uncertainty we choose? In any event, as J Krishnamurti said, "truth is a pathless land." What uncertainty would you prefer to the one we have created?
A dual Maths/Computer Science degree from a liberal arts college made all the difference in my seemingly successful career as a medical devices software/systems engineer and manager, I think. It was being able to see, perceive, and say what others couldn’t/wouldn’t that propelled me for over 30-years. Then the one simple observation of a regulatory violation (at the time of a supposed $8b valuation) that ended it all. From years before, I remember the one philosophy professor lecturing about “what one ought not to do”. It was the right thing to do at the time. But my life since says maybe I ought not to have done it.

A masterful analysis!
